Danielle & Gonzalo’s bilingual dance party wedding

This wedding was held at one of our favorite venues in Seattle, Urban Light Studios, and had some amazing Mexican, Irish, and Lithuanian influences. You’ll also want to see the kick-ass dessert bar, crowd surfing groom, and a dress emergency!

Sylvia & Tyson’s relaxed bird-themed registry office wedding

This wedding has amazing details like bird-inspired decor, red and black-clad bridesmaids, and the groom’s dad’s band. But not everything went as expected, in particular the “poo scrotum” favors. You read that right. Sometimes last-minute additions can become hilarious surprises.

Toni & Mark’s Civil War costumed picnic wedding

With a love for Civil War reenactment, it was no surprise that this couple and their friends were totally down for a period costume picnic. Add in tons of help from those friends and family with a potluck pulled pork feast, and you’ve got a community-supported party in the making. You’ll also want to hear the story of the groom saving the bride from a rogue box fan.
